Have you even heard of it? Well you have probably worn a Yupoong hat or two over the years. They have a ton of different styles of hats and are part of the flexfit family.
The interesting thing in the hat world is how brand oriented people tend to get. I mean, I get it to an extent. Each person has a unique head and a hat that your buddy likes might not be the best fit on you. I love flexfit hats but I am precisely between the two main sizes. So the small one kills my head and the large size will blow off in a gentle breeze.
But back to the question: Yes. The End.
I wish it was that easy but I doubt you’d let me go so quickly. Yupoong 6606 and Richardson 112 hats are so remarkably close to each other in quality and fit that most people can’t tell the difference. The main differences come down to style. The 112 line from Richardson has around 30 more color options. Additionally they offer more tri-color styles and contrasted stitching for that extra touch.
The quality of Yupoong is phenomenal and I think they are more consistent than the Richardson 112. Not only are they at least as good as the 112 line but they hit that quality level at a lower price point. The 6606 is my go-to hat for customers that are on a tight budget but can’t sacrifice quality. You might lose a style point or two but you get to keep quality and cost under control.
Yupoong has been making hats for a very long time. Over the years they have figured out how to do that at a massive scale without losing the quality.
